Book Description
Excerpt from Alumni Record of Baker University, 1917: Including an Account of the Principal Events in the First Twenty-Five Years of the History of the College, With a Roster of the Trustees and the Faculty, and Their Offices The incidents attendant upon the Fiftieth Anniversary of Baker Uni versity in 1909 increased the interest already quite general among the friends of the college that a record should be prepared in which the history and development of the university should be set forth, probably in a form for reference and reminder. At that time the Trustees ordered that such a publication should be made ready and Dean 0. G. Markham was directed to collect and edit the material. He began the work, but two things have prevented an earlier completion of the task. First, the routine of duties belonging to his usual work allowed only fractions of time at different intervals. A more serious hindrance was the limited amount of original material from which to gather the facts. It seemed desirable to go beyond the meager records remaining of the official acts of the school in its earlier years to see what contemporaneous accounts might Show in the newspapers published in the same years of Kansas history. This investigation gave some definite data, as well as satisfied the query as to whether there might be such data.
